My understanding of how you could do the setup, and how exactly this
plugins can help you:
You have streamdev-server and svdrpservice/osd plugins running on the
server. You have running streamdev-client and remote-osd, remote-timer
and whatever else plugin running on the client(s)
The client would carry the xineliboutput plugin and you connect on the
client machine to the client machine vdr. The streamdev provides the "tv
cards" to the clients. The remote timer plugin enables you to create
timers and more on the server, the epgsync lets you sync the epg, so
clients don't need to do epg-scan (which could hit your server hard if 1
server , multipke clients). The Remote OSD Plugin enables you to have
the server OSD on one of the clients to do configurations etc pp. So in
the end you get a client server vdr which behaves very near like a few
standalone vdr
